FOV M3 Bradley Customizations:
The modifications made to the FOV Abrams include replacing the bendy .50 cal MG with the excellent version that came with one of the FOV Tank Commander figures, adding Pickelhaube's APU unit (which helps straighten out the turret bustle), the hanging storage container, wire antennas, and all the crew's gear (FOV accessories) hanging on the turret and stashed in the turret bustle. The APU and storage box were painted Testors Armor Sand, which is a close match to the stock FOV paint. The weathering and paint on the tank itself are stock, save that I painted the commander's hatch periscopes.
The BBI Abrams is stock save for the addition of the chevron decal on the front, artwork on the right front turret side, and the gear in the turret bustle. The paint scheme and weathering are all stock.
The FOV Bradley has all the extra gear (FOV accessories) affixed to the sides and stashed around on the vehicle. All the crew periscopes have been painted as well as the ammo cans on the turret. and I added antennas, which need to be reglued at the correct angle. The vehicle's overall paint scheme and weathering are stock.
